Templestowe

We decided to do our full house with Thermotek Windows uPVC Double Glazed windows & doors, we back onto a main road and really wanted to reduce the noise. The noise reduction was far superior to anything we could have imagined. We also really love the stylish look it has given our home, it has really completed the “look” of our house. The guys did a seamless install, we are very impressed that they could complete the entire job in less then a week. The customer service and knowledge of all involved was above and beyond, second to none. The product is very high quality and not to mention the cost being very competitive, great value for money. The follow up and aftercare is definitely a value add. We are very happy with the windows & doors, we really have all that we wished for.’ – Mr & Mrs Shepherd

THE PROBLEM

The customer backed onto a main road and had major noise issues, they also had dated windows that needed updating.

OUR SOLUTION

We recommended White uPVC double glazed windows. The uPVC double glazed windows will really help with noise issues and the uPVC frames will not only look the part but will also be maintenance free.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDED

White uPVC windows and sliding doors, each window was a different style chosen to ensure the best ventilation for that particular area and window size. Key locked multi point locking hardware to all windows to help enhance security. We also specified 6.38 Laminated glass to go on the external panel to combat noise issues and an internal Low E glass to further help with temperature control.

SPECS OF THE PRODUCT

The IGU (insulated glass unit) used, is made up of a 4mm pane with a 16mm argon gas filled gap and 6.38 laminated pane on the outside.

Using our customised uPVC double glazed windows with low E we can achieve a great u-value of 1.7. The u-value is the amount of heat transferred through a material. The lower the u-value, the slower the rate of heat flow and the better the insulating quality (therefore the lower the u-value the better!). To give you a rough idea of how great that result is, a standard aluminium single pane window generally sits around the u-value of 7 (ouch!). 

The solar heat gain coefficient or SHGC is also nice and low at 0.32. This is the percentage of heat gained from both direct sunlight and absorbed heat. Again, the smaller the number, the greater the ability to reduce solar heat gain.
